Before i jump on the BT Infinity wagon a question or 2

I am with the PO for phone + BB and Have been reading all sorts of forums and watching all sorts of topics. I read loads on all sorts of problems with the HH 3`s and a few other problems.

My Main gripe would be the P2P problems, I Don`t touch the torrent side of that but i DO play xbox and ps3, And seen as they can both use the p2p system my question would be, Has anyone here had problem on ANY games?.

BT`s checker say`s i can get 31 down and 5.8 up.. better than the 3 down i get already lol,,

I`m kinda in 2 minds at the minute but need talking into it if yall would`nt mind , lmao......

I play a lot (probably too much) online games with my XBOX & PS3 & I've never had any problems connecting to games, other gamers, am almost always selected as host etc.. Even on the very rare occasion that I have used torrents, I can't say I've ever noticed any speed limitations

Migration wise it couldn't have been any more straight forwards, got my MAC code from O2 & gave it to BT.

My O2 ADSL connection was up & running until the point the Infinity install engineer disconnected my old router to install the new VDSL faceplate.. downtime was probably a maximum 30 minutes

Apart from a couple of weeks of slow running, It's been generally excellent service

Ye, That i gathered , PO for me have got slow on the uptake as-of-late. So i`m swapping the whole package. Just waiting on what Sky offer and if nowt good then i`ll be ordering BT line and Infinity by this time next week

Well they now have fibre on their website, so I put my number into their checker and it only offered me ADSL2+ .

I've been on FTTC since Feb 2011!

I haven't managed to find any speed info.

as has been mentioned its 40mb/2mb, I tried the checker hand got 40.0mb-40.0mb for the fibre while adsl says 0.3mb-1.5mb

I was thinking about sky but will go with bt infinity, speed checker esitmates 51mb/13.5mb but hope we get better than that tho whatever will be a huge improvement over the 2.5mb max we get at the moment.

We know the information a while ago was it would be 40/2, but a lot of us were wondering whether that might have changed by now, given the Infinity and TT immediate availability of 80/20. You being a case in point where they might now have permanently lost a customer.

they just released the 40/2 service, think it'll take them a bit of time to announce the upgrade(80/x) as they'll want to get this up and running first.

as for loosing me as a customer, more a fact of the changing from bt to sky for the line rental etc rather than the added speed on infinity(as I wouldn't be making full use of the 50mb+ due to the location of the master socket compared to where my main desktop pc is).
